Positive And Negative Feedback Analysis
1. The two types of feedback mechanisms illustrated are a positive and negative feedback.
2. A stimulus is a system or function that maintains or monitors the environment's condition.
An example is when it gets hot, you start to sweat.
A signal is a message that is sent.
An example is the brain sending down neurons to the body.
A response is the way you react after a signal is sent.
An example is when you see a stop sign and then you stop.
3. Three similarities of the 2 types of feedback mechanisms are that both have a stimulus, both have a signal sent, and both have a response to the signal.
4a. Yes, the puppy is likely to chase the ball. This is because the puppy received positive feedback from the human. An example of this is when …show more content…
Puppy chases the ball is a response. "Good job" and head run is when the stimulus is increased.
4c. This scenario is an example of a positive feedback. The dog was stimulated by the thrown ball, then he chases the ball which is a response to seeing the ball. Then, the dog brings the ball back and receives positive feedback when he gets a nice pat on the head.
5a. The puppy will be likely to not urinate on the couch again because it had received negative feedback. The puppy is punished for urinating on the couch and is sent outside. This is an indication to the puppy that it should not urinate on the couch again.
5b. Puppy urinates on a couch is a response. "No, bad dog!" is stimulus decreased.
5c. This scenario was a negative feedback for the puppy because it was sent outside and was yelled at by the owner for urinating on the couch.
6. The positive feedback would be useful for amplifying a condition that is advantageous for the organism. This is because when cells work together and make something good, you want to keep on doing the same thing.
7. The negative feedback mechanism would be most useful for stopping a condition that is detrimental or limiting a condition to specified levels because you learn from mistakes after negative feedback is
